“The amendment eliminating due-process rights for K-12 teachers was necessary to assure passage of the larger school-funding bill, according to some conservatives. If so, you’d expect proponents at least to be clear on what the provision did, both before and after the vote. No doubt committee hearings would have helped, but lawmakers skipped that step.
The rush job of a bill has riled up many more Kansans than just public school teachers for multiple reasons, with no guarantee that it will satisfy the Kansas Supreme Court’s narrow order to restore equalization funding between wealthy and poor school districts.”

This is bad policy and bad government, and Kansans need to stay “riled up” and show we expect better from our political “leaders” in both August and November.
